Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Hi all,
I wonder if you can help me. I have a first generation ipad which I backed up to my old G5 powerpc which stopped working. I now have invested in a new imac and want to backup and sync my ipad with it. I found some information on here on how to do this but it does not seem to work for me!
1 I have authorised my new imac.
2 I reach the dialog : The iPad is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPad can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPad with the contents of this iTunes library.
The only option I have is to cancel or erase and sync.
From what I have read from other documents there should be a third option to just sync my ipad and computer now that I have authorised my imac.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Colin.

TS2529 Transferring purchases from an old device
I recently replaced my damaged iPhone 4 and the purchases I made via the old phone appear to have transferred but will not play. How can I fix this please?
Why not? What happens when trying to play the content?
Is the device signed in with the same account the media was purchased with? -
HT1848 How do you transfer purchases from an iOS device using the new iTunes (11?)?
I've just updated iTunes to ver. 11 on my mothers new PC and I'm connecting her iPad up for the first time. I can't see anything like the transfer purchases option that exsisted in the previous versions. I've tried to eject and start again, but it's still not giving me the option like it used to when you connected a device for the first time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!okay, should have serched a little more.. all I had to do was CTRL + b in my library to view the file menu, and under File -> Devices -> transfer purchases

HT201322 To hide or restore purchases on your iOS device
This is with reference to the second suggested method at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
This doesn't work on iOS6. Can someone confirm ?
If yes, Is this a bug or feature !You aren't currently able to hide items on iOS 6 (I can't and other people have posted the same) - I don't know whether that is permanent or temporary. You should still be able to hide items via your computer's iTunes, and you should be able to view and download your hidden items on iOS 6

What is the charge for ?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The free iCloud storage is 5 GB, and you have 25 GB of iCloud storage, so you have to pay for the storage. If you don't want to pay, downgrade the storage -
Running latest iTunes 11.something on Windows 7. Music is located on a network drive. All music is accessible through iTunes on my PC and on Apple TV but when I switch to shared libraries on iPad or iPhone, only music that exists in iTunes playlists appear. Im sharing all of my music but it doesn't seem to be working. Can somebody help?
You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy. -

Can I remove a Photo Stream from my iOS device and keep it on my iMac?
Is there a way to save a Photo Stream on your computer (comments and all) and remove it from your iOS devices? Going back to read the comments from time to time is nice, but don't want to have a list of Photo Streams as long as my arm on my iPhone and iPad.
If you're referring to Shared Photos Streams the answer would be no. If you're the owner of the stream and all you devices are logged into the same Apple ID if you delete the photos in a shared stream on one device they get deleted on all devices.

My old ipod nano is recognised by my new MacBook Air, and even transferred purchases from it, but it won't synch?
When I linked it it used the name I had given the ipod so it seems strange that it won't synch even though it is definitely connected.See if this helps:

TS1702 This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.
How do you remove an app from your iPad? I have synced the iPad and attempted to remove and this is the messgae I receive:
This app will not be deleted from any iOS device that synchronizes with your iTunes library.
HELP! Get rid of these Doodle Gods, Kick the Buddy, etc....As Jim states, that procedure deletes the app and its associated documents from the device itself. At next sync, the deletion should propagate and get rid of the backup on iTunes as well.
If not, you can also manually delete that backup. Go into iTunes on the computer you sync the iPad with. If needed, select Show Sidebar in the View menu. Choose Apps under Library in the sidebar. Click on the All tab in the middle of the window. Scroll about till you locate the offending app amongst the bunch of icons. Right-click or Control-click on it and choose Delete from the popup menu. If the app is gone already on the device, there should be no warnings. You should delete from the device first and sync, so this manual step becomes unnecessary. -
What is the name of the $20 program that has a red itunes icon that transfers music from your ipod to itunes?
I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

Syncing and transferring Purchases from iTouch 4G Freezes iTunes
I recently purchased an app at the iTunes App Store (101 GamesUtilities)and when I connected my iTouch to my PC, the sync began. iTunes indicated that "Transferring Purchases from iTouch4 Step 3 of 4 Copying GameUtilities". Usually it takes a short time to complete this process so I clicked in a vacate area of iTunes and discovered that iTunes stopped responding and was frozen. I had to use control-alt-delete to close the iTunes app and disconnected the iTouch from the computer. I repeated the process of connecting my device to the PC and the iTunes repeatedly froze.
I then rebooted my computer, downloaded iTunes 10.1 and intended to install but got 2 options for action which was repair or uninstall. So I chose repair. This did not resolve the problem. I did not get any error message during this process when it finally froze. Can someone help? I also went to GameUtilities website to report the problem in event that the situation directly connected to that software.If you use the search function on the right and search the iPod Touch forum for:
itunes AND freeze
you will see previous discussions on your problem. However, I looked at some of them and se no solution.
I would try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstall it vice just installing it over the existing one.
